A word from the dean...

Are you a potential undergraduate or graduate student with an interest in agriculture, natural resources, food science, or textiles and apparel studies?

I welcome you to visit the College of Agriculture and Related Sciences [2](CARS). We have programs that offer you a solid academic and experiential learning foundation to help you achieve your educational and career goals.

CARS includes four divisions:

Agriculture and Natural Resources [3]
Cooperative Extension [4]
Cooperative Research [5]
Human Ecology [6]

At DSU, The College of Agriculture and Related Sciences is the bedrock of the 1890 land-grant tradition. Our history began with the second Morrill Act [7] and is reinforced daily through our teaching, research and extension activities -- the three core components that define the land-grant mission.
